We're about to start experimenting with data recovery in our online app (SQL2005 + ASP.NET 2). Rather than Google searching the different ways to do this (too many pages to read), I'd like to ask what methods the seasoned pro's use and take it from there.
I presume that at some point in time a customer of our's will delete something really important that will cascade across tables. So, in the event of this, what is the best way to get their data back?
Do people opt for tools such as Red Gate's SQL Log Rescue, or do they manually copy rows from a backed up file back into the original? Are there other (more suitable) ways to back up deleted data?
I'm not experienced with data restoration so please excuse my ignorance. I'll give points to all helpful answers and pointers.
